In conflict zones, peacebuilding processes are often driven by the binary framingof victim and perpetrator. Peacebuilding within such a narrative is mainly aboutsecuring truces like those being strung together in Yemen today, ending anongoing militarized war or signing a peace agreement. In the context of Yemen,there is also a tendency by the international community to localize and reducethe conflict, emphasizing it solely as a civil war while disregarding the roles ofmany countries involved that benefit directly or indirectly from the continuationof war; both local and international players tend to center the conflict aroundarmed struggles. Such tendencies not only dismiss the historical and racialaspects of the conflict but also the other sorts of conflicts, wars and strugglesfaced by people in everyday life in Yemen and the diaspora; they also neglect thechallenges faced by women, marginalized groups, migrants and displaced people.
